What in the World is a Flower Frog?

The main character of my latest release, The Bachelor's Unexpected Family, is a woman who loves flowers—like me—and dreams of becoming a florist—not like me, although I once was a florist in a play.

This character led me to remember my grandmother's flower frogs. Some of them I still have. But many people have never heard of a flower frog.

A flower frog is a device used to help hold and arrange flowers. Floral frogs are still used, but were in their heyday during the 1920s, 1930s and World War Two era. I adore all things Art Deco. This particular book, although a contemporary romance, has a strong World War Two historical element.

Here are some of my favorite flower frog examples—

Do you own a flower frog? Did your grandmother? Have you ever used one for flower arrangements?

I'm still not sure what a flower frog is. From the first picture, I thought it was spikes that keep the flowers still. But, how is the statue of the girl a flower frog. Inquiring minds want to know.My favorite aunt had a flower garden. I wish I'd paid more attention.

Hi Lisa, I had no idea those things were called flower frogs. I think I've had some cheap ones that came in an arrangement of flowers, but I've never used them myself. Thanks for teaching me something new.
